Founded on 16 December 1919 by Tsui Yan Sau Peter (1889–1980), it is now a Roman Catholic secondary school for boys run by the Chinese Province of the Society of Jesus. Fully subsidised by the Government of Hong Kong, it is a grammar school using English as the medium of instruction. It is often considered, together with its brother school Wah Yan College, Kowloon, and feeder school Pun U Association Wah Yan Primary School, as one of the most prestigious boys' schools in Hong Kong. It has an enrolment of approximately 800 students with 60 teachers and Irish Jesuit Fathers. The supervisor of the school is Rev. Fr. Stephen Chow, S.J., who is an alumnus of the school, a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, and an educational psychologist. The current principal of the school is Dr. So Ying Lun, who is an alumnus and a former teacher of the school. Students have exemplary performance at the HKDSE and admission rate of Form 1 student at Wah Yan College (both Hong Kong and Kowloon) remains very low . It is generally recognised by the public that is a top 'Band 1' school. It is generally recognised by the public that students studying in Wah Yan College, Hong Kong are 'Elite Band One Students'. HistoryChronologyThe beginningsThe school was founded by Tsui Yan Sau Peter on 16th December 1919 on the 3rd and 4th floors of 60 Hollywood Road, which houses the Kung-Lee sugar cane juice store (公利真料竹蔗水) and is listed as a Grade II Historic Building. On the first day of school there were only four students. In subsequent years, the school also used 54A Peel Street and 33 Mosque Junction as campuses. As the number of students rose, the school moved to a new campus at 2 Robinson Road (the present site of Bishop Lei Int'l House and Raimondi College) after Lunar New Year 1921. On 1 October 1922 the school was listed as a Grant-in-aid school. In 1924 a new branch, now known as Wah Yan College, Kowloon, was established. A hostel in Wah Yan opened in 1927. That same year the first Irish Jesuit Fr John Neary came to Wah Yan and taught religious studies. In the early days of Wah Yan, the grades were not named Forms 1–7 but Classes 1–8. The "classes" were numbered in reverse order: Class 1 was equivalent to today's Form 6 (the equivalent for Form 7 did not exist at that time), Class 6 was equivalent to today's Form 1 and Class 8 was equivalent to our Primary 5. Wah Yan under the Irish JesuitsIn 1932 the school was transferred to the Society of Jesus, after a long series of negotiations between the original administration and the Jesuit fathers. The transfer was completed on 31 December, and Fr Gallagher, S.J., replaced Lim Hoi Lan as the headmaster. The school was also given a new name: College of Christ the King. In 1933, the College published the first volume of its yearbook, The Star. A house system was introduced in 1934. In 1940 the hostel was closed down. Wartime Wah YanIn December 1941, with the invasion of Hong Kong by Japanese troops, classes were suspended. Fr Gallagher and Fr McAsey were interned by the Japanese. During the War, Wah Yan continued operations in Macau for a period of time.[2] There was another Wah Yan set up during the occupation (called "Wah Yan Chung Hok", meaning Wah Yan middle school) but it closed down shortly before the war ended. Post-war developmentAfter the Japanese troops surrendered, the school reopened on 8 September 1945. Later in the year, Wah Yan Middle School was re-established as the Chinese stream of the school. In March 1946, the Wah Yan Dramatic Society, consisting mainly of alumni of the school and Wah Yan College, Kowloon, commenced activities, and was officially founded the following year. Its first production was "The Thrice Promised Bride". A night school was started on 17 February 1948. The next year, an afternoon school opened. In 1950 the Chinese stream of the school was closed down. In 1951, the classes were renamed "forms": Class 1 became Form 6, Class 2 became Form 5, and so on. Class 7 and Class 8 were renamed Primary 6 and 5 respectively. In 1952 the afternoon school was also closed. Queens Road East "Mount Parish" eraIn 1954, construction for a new campus at Mount Parish, Wan Chai started. On 27 September 1955 the new campus was formally opened by Sir Alexander Grantham, then Governor of Hong Kong. The school newspaper, "Starlet", was established in 1964. In 1971, Wah Yan College, Hong Kong helped to manage the then Pun U Primary School while the Pun U Association remaining the school sponsoring body. The primary school was renamed Pun U Association Wah Yan Primary School, and was established as the feeder primary school. The night school was closed in 1984. The streaming to Arts and Science began in Form 4 in 1986. On 12 April 1987, the Gordon Wu Hall to the north of the main building was opened. In the same year Wah Yan achieved its first "10 A's" in the HKCEE examinations. On 8 May 1992, heavy rainfall caused a severe landslide at the junction of Kennedy Road and Queen's Road East. It killed the driver of a passing car. The landslide caused the laboratory block to sink. Cracks were found in the playground and a crack in the classroom block had to be covered with stainless steel plates. In the same year three Wah Yan students achieved "10 As" in the HKCEE. Six classrooms (2H, 2K, 4H, 4K, 6S2, 7A) were demolished in 1993 as a result of the landslide. They were rebuilt and were reopened in 1998.[3] The first version of the school website was set up by Dr Ashley Cheng in 1994. In 1997, the Parent-Teacher Association was established. In 1998, all classrooms were fitted with air-conditioning. School development projectThere had been plans to redevelop the school since 1995. However, the initial plans were aborted due to lack of funds and local law restrictions on architecture. In 2001 the Education and Manpower Bureau planned to upgrade all existing schools in Hong Kong to millennium standard, and the College successfully applied for part of the necessary funds for redevelopment. The School Development Project (SDP) was formally launched on 26 January 2003, and works were officially started on 25 May 2003 with the demolition of the old music room block. The original aims of the SDP were to:
The total cost of the SDP was estimated to be HK$104m. It was to be carried out in three phases:
Funding for Phase 1 is by the Hong Kong Government's Quality Education Fund and the School Improvement Programme. Funding for Phases 2 and 3 are by fund-raising campaigns hosted by the school. Phases 1 and 2 (New Annex) have already been completed and formally opened on 31 January 2006 by Mr Donald Tsang, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. Phase III consists of a new school hall annexe with a much larger hall that can accommodate all the students in the school. The annexe will also house five extra classrooms and a lecture theatre. Phase III was originally estimated to be completed by December 2006; however, lack of funds greatly delayed the completion time. In the summer of 2011, works for Phase III finally started while fund-raising is still in progress. Donors are urged to contact the former principal, Mr Tam Siu Ping George, directly as the college is still sourcing funding. The old school hall has already been demolished. It is contemplated that the new school hall complex will be completed in early 2014.[5] Achievements
Wah Yan College, Hong Kong - St. Joseph College Rivalry TraditionThere has been friendly rivalry for decades, both in academics and athletics between Wah Yan College, Hong Kong and St. Joseph's College, Hong Kong, two prestigious Catholic boy schools on the Hong Kong Island side of Hong Kong. Both schools have rich histories of academic excellence, as well as athletic competition and school pride. The order of the names is by no means consistent; affiliates of either school will typically put their school's name first. Principals since 1919
Education beliefAccording to the school's mission statement, Wah Yan aims to develop each student in each of the following areas: moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual, based on Jesuit educational practice and Chinese tradition.[8] The school formally adopted the Vision of Jesuit education in 2008.[9] CampusThe campus at 281 Queens Road East, Wan Chai has an area of about 20,000 m² (220,000 square feet), located on a small hill known as Mount Parish. It was designed by the late Professor Gordon Brown, the founder of the Architecture Faculty of Hong Kong University. Completed in 1955, the school has seven main buildings:
The Classroom Block, Laboratory Block and Administration Wing are linked together. Since the campus' completion in 1955, it has undergone three major changes: the addition of Gordon Wu Hall in 1987, the reconstruction of six classrooms from 1992–98, and the School Development Project launched in 2003. The school have rebuilt the hall into a 5-storey complex, with a much larger hall which will be able to hold all the students at the same time (the demolished hall could only accommodate about 500 students). On 20 September 2014, the School Hall Complex Opening Ceremony was held. AcademicsClass structureAs at the 2012–2013 school year, Wah Yan College has 25 classes: four each in Form 1 to Form 3, Form 5 and Form 6, named "W", "Y", "H", "K" (for "Wah", "Yan", "Hong" and "Kong" respectively) and – to better care for senior secondary classes – starting from 2012–2013, five classes in Form 4, named "W", "Y", "C", "H", "K" (where "C" is for "College"). In the coming years, all senior secondary are to have five classes. By 2014–2015, there are 27 classes in the college. CurriculumThere is no streaming in Forms 1, 2 and 3. A mixed-ability mode is adopted in learning and teaching. Students with different academic abilities are allotted evenly across the classes. Students of Forms 1 and 2 study English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics, Chinese History, History, Geography, Computer Literacy, Integrated Science, Music, Physical Education, Putonghua, Visual Arts, Life Education/Religious Formation and Ignatian Value Education. Form 1 and 2 students also study Life and Society. Form 3 students study English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics, Chinese History, History, Geography, Computer Literacy, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Music, Physical Education, Putonghua, Visual Arts, Liberal Studies, Life Education/Religious Formation and Ignatian Value Education. Students of Forms 4 to 6 are grouped into different classes according to the optional subjects taken. All students will study courses in English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics, Liberal Studies (the four core compulsory subjects for Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination), Aestheic Education (Music and Visual Arts), Physical Education, Life Education/Religious Formation and Ignatian Value Education. In addition, students are required to take three elective subjects for the HKDSE examination. Students can choose among Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Chinese History, Geography, History, Economics, "Business, Accounting and Financial Studies" (BAFS), Information and Communication Technology, Music and "Ethics and Religious Studies" (ERS). Students can also choose to study either Module 1 (Calculus and Statistics) or Module 2 (Calculus and Algebra) of the Mathematics curriculum. Music (HKDSE), which may be chosen on top of the three elective subjects, is taught outside normal school timetable. New senior secondary curriculumStarting from the academic year 2009–2010, the school provides a new curriculum for senior students in conjunction with the planned educational reform by the Hong Kong Government. The HKDSE subjects that are now offering are Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics, Liberal Studies, Chinese History, Economics, Ethics and Religious Studies, Geography, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, 'Business, Accounting & Financial Studies', Music, and 'Information & Communication Technology'. Music, Art, Ignatian Value Education, and also Religious Formation, Life Education or Moral & Civic Education will be offered as non-examination subjects.[10] Wahyanites studying overseasSchool statistics show that many of its students participate in overseas exchange programmes organised and subsidised by the school. Many go on to further their studies overseas on a more permanent basis. The most popular destinations are the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. To assist such students, teachers of the Careers and Further Studies Committee write reference letters and testimonials. The chairlady of the Committee is Miss H.W. Ng, also the chairlady of the BAFS panel. Wah Yan also has a Post-secondary Education Trust Fund. Six scholarships and grants, each worth more than HK$300,000 per year (or up to HK$1,200,000 per grant), are awarded to suitable Wah Yan students for overseas undergraduate studies every year. Some of the sponsors are themselves former scholarship beneficiaries.[11] Extracurricular activitiesExtracurricular activities are divided into groups A and B. Group A contains school organisations and clubs/societies operated by students. Group B contains Catholic organisations, sport teams and other unclassified organisations. Each student may participate in four Group A activities at most. The maximum number of Group B activities that a student may join is left to the discretion of the teacher advisers and parents concerned. Student AssociationThe Student Association of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong is the student organisation body which has the highest position in the school's management structure. It is empowered by current students, with the approval of the School Authorities (the School Authorities refer to the Principal, Assistant Principals, the teacher advisers and the ECA Committee of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong) through yearly Student Association election. The Student Association (SA) is a non-profit making body, which aims to promote the welfare of the students of WYHK and thus to serve the whole student body. The SA allows the students to participate in the administration of the school in matters concerning their welfare. The primary function of the SA is the organisation and co-ordination of all students; and arrangement of extra-curricular activities in the school.[12] The SA is composed of 10 executive committee members, including President, two Vice-presidents, Secretary of General Affairs, Secretary of Financial Affairs and five other members. The SA executive committee members should fulfill certain basic requirements to run for yearly held SA election and take office as SA. The SA would also recruit sub-committee members yearly, aiming to recruit students who would like to faithfully serve the school and the SA. The SA would yearly hold certain major and regular events, highlighted ones would be holding a stall in the Lunar New Year Fair, annual Christmas ball, Student Festival, Teachers' Day, etc. List of past SA cabinets:
Wu Jieh Yee LibraryLocated on the second floor of the Francis H B Wong Teaching Building, the Wu Jieh Yee Library of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong was opened in 2005 with the opening of this new annexe. Prefects' BoardThe Prefects' Board is an independent organisation under direct delegation of the Principal.[13] The Prefects' main duties include maintaining discipline at school and promoting harmony among Wahyanites. Prefects' Board runs a committee system directed under the Head Prefect. The board is also responsible for co-ordinating all internal and external functions held by the school. Every year, approximately 70 prefects are divided into five groups, each with their respective group leaders. Prefects have rights to issue warning slips according to the seriousness of the offence.[14] Five outstanding prefects are elected each year based on their general routine and external duties performances. In the academic year 2015–2016, the number to school prefects has reduced to approximately 50 students since the Board's direction has changed to concern quality over quantity. A Self Recommendation System will also be introduced to recruit more Prefects into the Board. There are 1–2 development workshops each school year, aiming to enhance the readiness and qualities of prefects. Before summer, there is also a Prefect Training Camp, to prepare Probationary Prefects and the new cabinet of committee members for the challenges they will face in the upcoming school year. Star StudioWah Yan Star Studio is the college's campus TV team. The team handles all audio-visual matters throughout the school year including assemblies and other school events. The team is also responsible for recording the school events and publishing the video recording or describing the events. The team is also free to record and publish interesting videos/dramas filmed by themselves, much like a TV station. All the videos are published online. The team is considered a school organization and is not interfered by the Student Association. HousesThere are four houses in Wah Yan.[15] Each house has their own colour.
Students entering the school are each allocated permanently into one of the four houses, based on which class the student is allocated to. Students are mixed up into different classes the following year. School symbolsSchool songThe school song was composed around 1960 by Sr. Carmela Santos, a Sister of St Paul de Chartres (SPC) originally from the Philippines. The lyrics were written by Fr. Patrick McGovern, S.J., who was a teacher in Wah Yan and then a member of the Legislative Council.[16] Official link: http://www.wahyan.edu.hk/about/school_song/school_song.html "This is the dear school where we learn how to treasureAnd keep for a lifetime all that's noble and true,To serve the Lord God in the love of our neighbour,O Wah Yan, we are proud of and grateful to you.In all that we do whether duty or pleasure,we count not the cost, but unselfishly strive,What's mean and unmanly we shun with displeasure,Come praise or come blame, we hold our heads high.Old Boys of Wah Yan cherish fond recollectionsOf those who here taught us the best things to choose;Home of our friendships, our hopes, and affections,O Wah Yan all our lives we'll be worthy of you."School sealThe seal of the school is divided into four quarters by a cross in red, set on a blue background. The cross symbolises the love of Jesus Christ for mankind, and the blue background symbolises the sea which surrounds Hong Kong. Five stars are set on the badge, one in each quarter and the remaining one is at the centre of the cross. According to the school, the stars symbolise either the ideas of virtue, wisdom, sportsmanship, co-operation and elegance ({{zh|c=德、智、體、群、美}}), or the ideas of benevolence, justice, courtesy, wisdom and faith ({{zh|c=仁、義、禮、智、信}}). Attempt to Switch to DSS SystemThe school embarked on a detailed exploration exercise of nearly 3 years and conducted a full scale and rigorous 9-month consultation of stakeholders' views of joining the 'Direct Subsidy Scheme'. The consultation indicated strong support for the scheme among parents and alumni while teachers were evenly split on the issue. The Society of Jesus decided to apply for the school to join the scheme in January 2018. The application was seen unsuccessful after the rejection from the Education Bureau.
